Pay monthly websites
A pay monthly website, without the usual catches
No setup fee, no fixed contract and the design is free. Just £20 a month once your website is live, and you can leave whenever you like.
- £0 to design and build
- £20 a month only once it’s live
- No contract
The basics
What is a pay monthly website?
Instead of paying a big bill for a website up front, you pay a monthly fee that covers the design, keeping it online and looking after it. It spreads the cost and means someone else handles the technical side.
The catch with many pay monthly deals is in the small print: a setup fee, a minimum term of a year or more, or a website you can’t take with you if you leave. So it pays to check before you sign. Redefineweb’s guide explains the common traps.

Before you sign
Six things to check before you sign
Ask every provider these. Here are our answers.
Is there a minimum term?
No. There’s no fixed-term contract. Cancel whenever you like and your website stays online until the end of the month you’ve paid for.
Is there a setup fee?
No. No setup fee, no design fee and no deposit. You pay nothing until you choose to go live.
Who owns the design and the web address?
You do: the design we create for your business, your words and photos, and your web address when it’s registered in your name.
What changes are included?
Change words and photos yourself in your Portal whenever you like, or ask us. Everyday changes are included; bigger new features may be quoted separately.
What happens if you leave?
After 12 months of paid service you get a full copy of your website free, plus help moving your web address. Before then, you can take a copy by paying the rest of your first 12 months.
Do you need my card details up front?
No. You see your finished website first. Payment only starts if you choose to go live.
